Arrow BDC tuning to Washington!!!

Do not flame this thread or post up a negative response.

I am creating this thread just to get a list of names of people that are ready for tuning.

Brian from BDC is available anytime for us to bring him up for a tuning session. Please post up your name and that’s it.


I do not know pricing yet. When I do I will post it up. I do not know location either.

Again I just want to know how many people are ready!

Thank you

Anytime in the summer is fine.. if you guys need a couple of months to get stuff sorted then I don't mind waiting til June/July/August time. For those interested, shoot me an email with a couple of engine bay pics of your car along with some specs on modifications done on 'em. I'm a bit of a control freak and may have some suggestions on things to change.

As far as location Kevin was great in Puyallup at Jet City Performance for both of last year's Kan sessions. It seemed to work well. But of course there are other places you could rent out for the day

Of coarse Matt you are in!!! What I'm going to be doing is getting a list of about 5 people that are ready to be tuned and getting a deposit from each which will equal the plane ticket for Brian. The session will most likely be up here in Bellingham at Meridian Performance. I know those guys well and we can get a good deal on some dyno time for those who want either a street, dyno, or both tune.

We can do both but I definitely need street time. I don't have to have dyno time on a car unless the weather is poor or the car I'm working on is prohibitively powerful. For those that are on a budget and can't afford dyno time, I can do street stuff entirely.

I would recommend something a little more centrally located than Bellingham. It would be kind of you to at least split the difference for the guys down south. Maybe finding a place in Snohomish or N King County with a dyno would be better. Take advantage of being able to get more interest and people not having to drive 2 hrs plus to Bellingham depending on their location. Just my 2 cents

Well you also already had Kan dyno tune to work off of so you didn't really need dyno time with Brian. But I would say street tuning is the best way to gain driveability

BDC had to completely redo my entire map.... My map i had was not happy or set up correctly for the FC ignition. From what i remember BDC said it was set up like a FD, and last time i checked under the car cover my car is a FC..lol

I didn't use Steve's tune at all. I basically wiped out what he had and re-did everything as I normally do.

and my 1/4 miles can attest to how good BDC did. that is on a small hybrid turbo, nothing super special, and tuning.

My apologies, Rob & Brian... I was wrong.

Chance: I believe the wideband was malfunctioning that day, because the first session he used it as a backup to Steve's. ANd I recall them having problems with it and I'm pretty sure it was at your session. But yeah no boost reading there. I just don't see there being enough interested parties to drive to Bellingham which is why I suggested a more central location.

The reason behind the Bellingham meet, Is because there is enough people up here to warrant him here. I am including you folks down south to have the opportunity to come up and get a tune. If there is enough support for a session further south feel free to contact Brian and arrange a session down there.
